MISCELLANEOUS!!.
From the Biblical Recorder.
TO THE REV. W. HOOPER, D. Y.,
OF COLUMBIA, S. C.
My Dear Brother
Your letter, in the Recorder of the 12th inst.
lies before me, containing a request that I
would furnish our members with my views in
regard to the practises and modes of worship
which you have witnessed at protracted
meetings," and which you describe in die
following words; The. preaching is oft.
en too didactic and calm to agitate the
multitude, is always followed by warm, im
passioned exhortations, in which the exhor
ter has not proceeded long belore the effect,
which he has been aiming at, takes place,
namely, a general commotion and conifusion of
voices, some screaming "glory." "glory," at
the same time jumiing up and clapping theit
hands, others crying in apparent agony; while
a large number strike up a hymn which they
sing amid donpicting-sounds, oftentimes un
able to keep in concert by. reason of the con
fusion; and sometimes two different hymns go.
ing on in different parts of The congregation.
Abve all is heard the voice u'f the exho er
urging them to come up to the altar, which is
ani enclosure near the pulpit, for those who
are thus powerfully wrought upon to kneel
down and become the objects of special pray
er. It is geneially thronged by numbers,
chiefly women, who there throw themselves on
their knees, commonly with loud lamentations.
Then some person is enlled upon to pray for
the 'mournern' after this -..oucluded siging
recommences, while, the preachers, and often
times the most zealons among the hearers, also
go among the rows oh kneeling 'mournera,'
pressing on them an immediate renunciation
of the world and surrender to Christ. A sic
cession of these.tumultous scenes is kept up of
ten till a late hour of the night, and it is not
uncommon for some of the persons thus put in
violent agitation, particularly the negroes, to
continue their scieams through the whole
night. This process is the usual order of
every day, until the exhatustion of the preach
err, or the weariness of the hearers, brings the
meeting to a conclusion." You add, 'that
these exercises take place at large protracted
meetings, and are the. results of oxcitements.
whi'ch though begun by agitators, get beyond
their control, and ofien lead to tumult and in
decorous bodily gestures and positions which
griete serious pertons, and furnish too just
ocasion for ridicale and qainsaying to the
light bysfariders looking on.
I have often heard of such scenes, my broth.
er as you here describe, in tire assembhings of
some of God's people. bn have tery seldom
witnessed them. .Blat whether .. 0itnessed -or
heard of, the knowledge of their occurrence
has always given me pain, because I consid
eied them as -in direct opposition to the in
struction and example of the inspired teachers
of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is now nearly
fourteen years since my attention has been
particularly drawi to the consideration of
protracted meetings as. held by the Baptists,
I looked on them at first with very serious
concern of soul, and watched their move
ments with anxious solicitude. I feared
the result of that tendency to excess and
disorder in the excitement ofthe passions of
our nature to which man is so prone on any
absorbing subject, but especially on the subjet
of his future destiny when roused bj in as
semblage of spirit-stiriing instrumentalities.
These are abundantly furnished id protracted
meetings by the large audience In attendance,
by the solemn appeals of ministers sneceeding
each other ins preaching, exhortation and pray
er, by the anxieties of zealons friends and new
converts, some of whom seemlto think them.
selves cdminissioned. to Arget the proprieties
of tifd in their zeal ff tire salvation ofsouls
whilst the right observance of the one might
better secure the other, and by the soulani.
niaing strains of-Psaints, lrymns, and spiritual
songs." I say. I feared, fruethese instrumen
talities, the result of protracted meetingb i'n the
undue excitement of our passions; but I thank
God that in those with which I have had more
particularly to do. I have norrecollection of
witnessing the i'dedorouE gesitfe, and ebr
mingling of voices, pio'ducng contusion, that
yotu describe; yet I have occasionailf 966:t and
heard some things in these meetings which
coturd have beetn mostadtantagtouslydispensed
with. For example. appteali nmade by exhor
tcrs' to sinners, .which had too maci the ap
pearance of being intend61l for dtiesi-exior
tations going on bimultaneously withi singing
bretheren going about anr:gg the imourners
whilst on theirk knees; and talkinig to them in a
low voice whilst an exhorter would be addlres

Politics.-Now since the contest is over, and
one of the gieat parties between which the
nation is dived, has succeeded in elected its
candidates, the people, we hope are prepared
to panise -.nd.consider a few Ideas and princi
pies that have been s'uggested by the occasion.
The very close issue to which the contending
parties were reduced, and the majority by
which one has succeeded, prove that the divis
sion of opiiions among the people leaves them
very. nearly balanced. Under such circui
stances, it becomes tl)e duy of those who have
succeeded to resp'ect the numbers and charac
ter of those who have bi:: defeated, and not
by extreme measures of po'icy, to give' to their
victory the character of a triumph. On the
other hand it is 'the duty of the unsuccessful
party to yield with meekness to the position to
which they have . been reduced and not to ea
deavor to thwart or render inoperative the
measures of those who are going into power.
Without designing to express any prefer.
ence for either party or candidate, we may
deduce from circumstances connected with
them, lessons of instruction regarding public
matters.
Whatever may be his merits is a statesman
it is certain that the reputation of Ar. Clay
with reenrd to morals. a reputation whi.:h we
believe %im not to deserve, has been very det
rimental to his success as a candidate. Thous
ands of religious men of the same party are
prejudiced against him, arid this prejudicq in
duced them. to refrain from voting. In the
same respect die character of his sne?essful
pponeut stood untarnished, and many in con
mequente gave him their suffrage. Ought not
1hi'to teach politicians of all classes, to seek
idt. candidates who will secure by their per
!onal'reputation the votes of pious men WO
6avo no doubt that, had both the candidates on
ddier side been religioust men of good standing
in evangelical 6hurches, and their opponents
aot the former would have been successful.
...W ar -ha bopartice too e6feh
dence is placed.4ipon party disni l:ne in secu
ring votes. To make a successful experimen
Df the principle to which we have alluded, we
ope thatsone party will on a future occasion,
select all their candidates from men distingnish
ad in the religions world. whir Vc feel assured
that the result will amply justify the view which
we have expressed.-Baptist Advocate.
bloRsE's TELERAPt.-This WoNderful in
vention continues to operate daily with perfect
accuracy and facility, and with a rapidity which
it is difficult to realize. In a few moments
after the arrival of y'mdios fRom the East at
Baitimaore, or frtom die south at Washington
the election returns are transmitted from one
city to die other with the fleetness of tlhonlt.
The intervening siace ef some forty or ffiy
miles is thus literally annihilated, and Baltimore
and Washington are virtually merged into
each other. On frequent occasions fecently
lie election reftrs were transmitted from
Baltimore to WeAhington and fiom Washing
ton to' Baltimore at de same moment of time
foi while each assistant was communicating to
the other, the simple and ingenins apparatus at
each station was also recording the information
transmitted from the other. Communications
it will be recollected, can be made at any
hour of the day or night, and it is not re
quisite, when intelligence is transmitted from
either station, that any person should he
in attendance at the other-inasmuch asthe
cotnmunications, be. long or short, ate recorded
by the apparatius on paler, and are thus pre
served for any length of time. Pirofessor
Melise- has been happy in the choice of his
Assistants, Messrs. Rogerrand VaiL-Baltimore

Prom the Tascaloosa Mfnitr:,
The opinion of the Supreni. Court of
Alabama in our paper to-day,. settes an
important principle in.-relation-to 'the va
-lidity of the forms without-the legal sanc
tions of marriage. The question* presen,
ted by the record was - whether such a
conspiracy had been-proved as was pun
ishable by law. Several persons combined
to accomplish a wicked purpose.-They
forged a marriage license, showed it to the
young lady and her parents, as evidence
of the good faith of the suitor, and one of
his associates falsely represented himself
to be a justice of the peace.-authorized to
perform the rites of matrimony,-where
u pnipih consent was yielded, and the
usual ceremony was repeated by the pre
tended magistrate. Afterwards, the cheal
was detected, and the paities to it were
indicted for conspiracy. -The only one
found was tried and convicted in the cir
cuit court of Butler. On points reserved
as novel and difficult, -the Supreme Court
has delivered an opinion affirming the
judgment below and indienting by the nu
merous authorities cited, the marriage, be
ing a civil contract, is valid where the
persons united dccl-are their intention to be
husband and wife in a formal manner, in
the presence of wit nesses-, even though no
marriage license has been' obtained, nor
the usual ceremony adninistered by an
authorized person, This witr open the
eyes of those who sometimes in leiify un
dergo a mock ceremony of marriage.
Growlt of London.-We are apt to
imagine here in the United States that the
growth of our towns and cities greatly
surpass in rapidity and extent those ofany
art of the old world. Some facts about
ondon' would seem to contiadict this no
tion.
It is siated, for instance, in-a recent
report to the Governinent, that "in little
mo're than twelve years, twelve hundred
new streets have been' idded to London
which is at the rate of 100 steetsa year."
-These 1200 new streets "cozitaiw 4S,000
houses, -:most of them built on a lat-ge and
:commodious seale, and in a style of supe-:
rior' eomfort;" WVith all this wonderful
incease, it is said, "that thie demand for
